There are plenty of great medieval RPGs out there right now, from fresh releases like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to stalwarts such as Skyrim, and there are plenty more on the horizon as well. Adding to that list is Valorborn, which isn’t lacking in ambition, despite its tiny team of just three developers. With an old-school feel of games like Gothic and even a dash of Runescape, and embracing party-based gameplay, it’s certainly worth checking out.
Given its scope, and its general vibe, I half expected Valorborn to be a multiplayer, MMO-style affair at first. However, it’s aiming to deliver a lot of the depth and many of the features you’d expect from larger experiences into a single-player, open-world RPG. Its medieval fantasy world is home to everything you’d expect. It’s got several varied biomes, including an intriguing looking grayscale location or realm. You’ll face enemies such as reanimated skeleton soldiers, wolves, and trolls. You’ll encounter a swathe of NPCs. Every single building, castle, and cave can be entered and explored.
As you progress through Valorborn, you can take your custom character down one of two paths – assemble a party of companions to aid you in battle, or become a lone ranger taking everything on solo. Should you choose to bring other characters along for the ride, you’ll not only unravel your own story but theirs as well. I do love a good companion questline.
As all good RPGs should, you’ve got the freedom to level up in whichever disciplines and skills you feel fit. Become an all-rounder, or specialize in certain areas to become a super strong warrior, a master hunter, or a sneaky assassin.
Acquiring resources, building, and crafting are also core components of Valorborn. As well as renting houses in villages that you can then customize to your heart’s content, you can also construct bases out in the field when exploring. Weapons, armor, and tools can all be crafted from your home or a base. The resources you’ll need for all this can be looted, harvested, or hunted from the world around you.
I wouldn’t say there’s anything massively groundbreaking or surprising about Valorborn in comparison to other third-person RPGs out there already, but what is commendable is how a world this big and systems this deep are being made by Laps Games, a team of just three developers.
Valorborn is aiming to launch in early access in Q3 of 2025. If you want to learn more about it, or add it to your Steam wishlist, head to its store page here.

In Dead Planets, a Roblox game inspired by Dead Rails, players drive a truck through desolate space landscapes while fending off relentless zombie hordes. To survive the journey, players choose from a variety of unique Classes, each offering distinct abilities and roles. This Dead Planets Class tier list and guide breaks down every Class and how they contribute to keeping the truck moving and the team alive.
Dead Planets Class Tier List

Sharpshooter and Drone Operator are undoubtedly at the best Classes in Dead Planets, as they have the best utility and damage options in the game. You want to be able to get as much loot as possible while killing zombies at the same time. Sharpshooter gets a good weapon at the start, along with a nice damage boost, while Drone Operator gets a Drone that kills zombies for him, making his gameplay very easy.
Dead Planets Class List
Below is a complete and detailed list of all Classes in Dead Planets, ranked by usefulness and cost:
If you are looking for a good Dead Planets Class, I recommend trying to go for Scout. It’s the best early Class and holds up even in the late game. It has a lot of speed and helps you avoid enemies easily with his Highlight ability. If you are looking for even more mobility or utility, go for Jetpacker, as it has a flying ability, but it is a bit pricier.
How to Change Classes in Dead Planets
Jump in there, trust me.Did anyone else see a gnome run past?
Firstly, you will need to collect some Credits by playing. You can find packs all over the map that will give you a certain amount of Credits. Once you have enough Credits, head back to the Hub and jump into the Classes hole. Trust me, it is safe. From there, you will be able to see all the different Classes, along with their price and abilities. Once you decide which one you want and which one you have the Credits for, click Purchase below the price on the right side of the screen to make it yours and enjoy!
That is all for my Dead Planets Class Tier List. Check out our other Dead Rails Potions Guide and Tier List for a similar game that i know you will like.

Diablo 4 Season 8 is perfectly fine, but feels safe and more of the same. Path of Exile 2’s Dawn of the Hunt has improved dramatically since its rocky release, but the early-access ARPG still has a long way to go. Last Epoch Season 2 is strong, but by now you may be looking for something fresh. Enter The Slormancer, a pixel-art indie ARPG from Slormite Studios that was launched out of early access at the start of this week, and has since built up impressive momentum with very positive Steam reviews and an ever-growing player count.
As either a Mighty Knight, Fierce Huntress, or Mischievous Mage, it’s your job to put a stop to an evil warlock called The Slormancer and his hordes of troublesome minions. It’s got everything that makes the best games like Diablo tick. Fast-paced action that sees you dancing through environments and blowing up dozens of hostile goons in quick succession, pouring damage numbers across the screen. Over 200 abilities, upgrades, and passives to create near-limitless build variations. An endless hunt for perfect loot with 200 legendary affixes, 120 game-changing unique weapons, and the ability to keep boosting your gear’s power as much as you want.
Slormite Studios emphasizes its focus on “collection and progression,” meaning you’re able to switch at any point between absolutely anything you’ve unlocked. That includes all skills you’ve gained access to, any items you’ve previously found, and even the very classes themselves. This creates a level of flexibility beyond what you’ll find in most other ARPGs, encouraging and rewarding experimentation.
Don’t worry about losing all your hard work when you switch builds, either; from loadouts to loot filters, The Slormancer has lots of welcome quality-of-life features. It even boasts a sprawling Ancestral Skill Tree that could give Path of Exile a run for its money, with more than 150 element-related skills and passives available to unlock. Your journey will take you across seven environments with a ton of visual variety, and its brief campaign is just the beginning of a much longer quest for power.
First launched into early access in 2021, The Slormancer is now out in full, and it’s quickly beginning to snowball as word of mouth spreads. What began as a gradual climb has escalated to a weekend high of 10,989 concurrent Steam players. The user reviews are filled with praise, too, with particular love given to the freedom of experimentation on offer and the ability to create weird and wacky builds on a whim based on just one small starting idea.
The Slormancer 1.0 is out now on Steam. Developer Slormite Studios is offering a 25% discount until Tuesday May 20, meaning you’ll pay $14.99 / £12.56. If you’re reading this early on and fancy yourself a new adventure, there’s still time to grab it at the lower price, so do so while you can.
For more stat-based satisfaction, here are the best RPGs on PC right now. Alternatively, take a look through the best indie games in 2025 to make sure you aren’t missing any hidden gems.

Oblivion Remastered modders continue to drop more and more interesting mods by the day, with an ever-advancing set of tools at their disposal to pull off whatever tweaks or additions strike their fancy.
There’s a deluge of interesting stuff arriving as the boundaries continue to be pushed, and depending on what you’re looking for, different stuff will catch your eye.
To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
One of the mods that made me personally do a double take when I came across it on Oblivion Remastered’s Nexus Mods page earlier this week was NaiadGirl’s ‘Martin Septim and the Terminator Gambit’, for obvious reasons. It’s a mod that sees you and Sean Bean be pursued wherever you go by a killer level 70 Terminator. From the moment you leave the sewers, there’s a murderous machine which only becomes defeatable once you finish the main quest right on your tail.
I was curious how much work had gone into pulling such a cool concept off at this still relatively early stage of Oblivion Remastered modding, so reached out to NaiadGirl. We talked Terminators and how she’s been finding modding the remaster as she’s made this mod and also tackled making the game’s iconic Oblivion gate battles and goblin wars more dynamic. Here’s my conversation with her:
VG247: What drew you to modding Oblivion Remastered? Did you have any previous experience modding classic Oblivion or other games?
NaiadGirl’s been venturing into those pesky gates for a good while. | Image credit: NaiadGirl
NaiadGirl: I’ve been a fan of Oblivion since I was a little girl, and the same goes for my wife. At first, we were skeptical about the remaster, but soon, we couldn’t help but be drawn in. I’ve been modding Bethesda games casually for over a decade now, but only recently took to making mods myself.
My only previous modding experience was with Deep Rock Galactic, another game that involves Unreal. My wife, on the other hand, has been making mods for years now! Since we both love Oblivion so much, we took to making mods for the remaster.
VG247: How have you generally found modding the remaster so far and getting to grips with tools like UE4SS and TesSyncMapInjector?
NaiadGirl: Modding the remaster has been a rollercoaster of emotions, with highs and lows. The old tools still work, more or less, but there are limitations. There are many features we still can’t work on or with, due to the lack of a proper modding toolkit for this new version of Oblivion.
UE4SS, OBSE64, TesSyncMapInjector; I can go on about the awesome tools people in the community have made. They’re all insanely impressive, and they make things possible that wouldn’t have been without them. I wish some of them had more in-depth documentation, but what can you do? Modding has always been a challenge, and part of the fun is hunting down answers to problems.
The last thing you ever see…provided you don’t make good use of that new sprint button. | Image credit: NaiadGirl
VG247: What inspired the premise for your Martin Septim Terminator mod and what was the process of putting it together like? Were there any elements of it that proved tricky to pull off, or anything you had to cut?
NaiadGirl: My inspiration for my Martin Terminator mod came from a game series I hold close to my heart: Resident Evil. It was originally going to just be the Pursuer itself, its name being ‘Nemesis’. I love the idea of something big and scary chasing you down while you’re already crushed under the pressure of saving the world. Eventually, I switched gears, and made it into a mod that included Martin.
What’s better than just you getting hunted by something scary? You and a friend getting hunted by something scary. Terminator rocks (at least two of them do), so I came up with the idea that Mehrunes Dagon had sent back in time a killer to save his butt at the end of the game. Putting it together had me looking at the code for the Conjurer that chases you down at the start of the [OG Oblivion] Spell Tomes DLC. After I had made a new NPC with the help of UE4SS and TesSyncMapInjector, I put together AI packages & two quest scripts to watch over everything.
Modding is a constant learning experience, and it’s so much fun, even if you can run into walls at times. Frustration quickly gives way to new inspiration. In the end, I didn’t have to cut anything! It’s a simple mod at the end of the day, but one that was incredibly fun to put together.
VG247: Aside from cheesing and running away, is there any other advice you’d give to players trying to beat the Septim Terminator challenge, even if it’s just to invest in spare underpants?
The thread of prophecy has been severed. | Image credit: NaiadGirl
NaiadGirl: I’ve been doing a lot of messing around with the Terminator in my latest playthrough. It’s tough, but not impossible to defeat (at least after the MQ is over!). Until you beat Dagon, you have to always be one step ahead of this machine marvel. It doesn’t care where you might be, because it will find you.
I was doing the Mythic Dawn Shrine quest, and by the time I had cut my way through the dungeon, freed the prisoner, and slept an hour to level up, there it was. The Argonian I worked so hard to protect was dead at its cold feet. I had no choice but to cut my losses and run. Plan your journey, hit stores up when you can, and always keep moving. It will kill indiscriminately if it finds you!
Once you finish the main quest, you have a few options: Dungeon traps, boss NPCs, crowds, or a duel to the death! You need to be at a fairly high level to defeat it! I would think there’s feasibility in taking it on at around level 25 on, if you plan your build well. The Terminator regens health, so always keep the damage on it!
You’ll need powerful equipment or a massive numbers advantage. I’m thinking I’ll slay my dragon at Cloud Ruler Temple, the place I have been keeping it away from at all costs. The Blades and I will make a final stand against Oblivion! I wish only the best of luck to would-be challengers. I love to hear stories about this fella.
VG247: What’s the Oblivion Remastered modding scene been like community-wise from your perspective so far? Have you had any interactions with other modders where you’ve gotten any helpful support/feedback on your mods or learned things you might otherwise not have?
NaiadGirl: The modding scene is filled with incredibly talented people. Many are willing to offer a helping hand, in my experience (within reason, of course!). Getting feedback on my mods is always greatly appreciated, and seeing the kind things people have said makes my day that much brighter.
Like I’ve touched on, modding is a constant learning experience, and you’re always finding something new that you didn’t quite know yet. Margaret, my wife, has quite a bit of Bethesda modding experience, and even she learns things through me as we work together. Modding is a beautiful, delicate dance, and it’s not one to be rushed. Take your time, do your research, and make something amazing with the community at your side!
We could end up dealing with even more terrifying modded threats than this, Grandmaster. | Image credit: VG247
VG247: What are your personal and general hopes for Oblivion Remastered modding going forwards? Are there any complex mod ideas you’re keen to try and make or any tools you’re hoping will pop up to make certain things easier/possible?
NaiadGirl: I have immense hopes for the modding scene going forward. Bethesda may be saying that mods aren’t officially supported, but I still hold onto the hope that we may one day get a proper Creation Set for Oblivion Remastered. They haven’t dropped the ball yet, and I would hope they wouldn’t now, with one of their all-time best creations. I truly believe a new kit is on the way, sooner or later.
If we do get official tools, modding is going to really pop off. You look at what we have now, and it’s only going to get bigger, and more accessible to the masses. Access to official tools will make a world of difference, and change things for the better. I’m hoping for an expansion on the Oblivion Remastered Script Extender (OBSE64) if the official tools give way. That won’t stop me from trying to make something crazy, though.
My next mod is focused on a pandemic outbreak. I’m very excited to continue my work on it, and share it with the world. I’m even more excited to see what the rest of the community can cook up. The community is insanely resourceful, and official tools or not, we’ll be making something beautiful together. Never stop making what you love.
Mythic Units are basically mandatory to have if you want to tackle late-game content. However, if you don’t evolve them, you won’t see their true power. So, to help you farm evo materials and evolve all of your Units, we prepared the following Anime Saga Unit evolutions guide.
Anime Saga Unit Evolutions Explained
Evolved Units have an additional move they can use.
All Mythic Units in Anime Saga have evolutions that increase their overall damage and unlock one additional move. Newly unlocked moves can be extremely powerful. For example, Zid’s Atomic deals more damage than the rest of its kit combined. With that in mind, you should evolve your Units as soon as you can.
How to Evolve Units in Anime Saga
When you evolve a Unit in Anime Saga, all of its stats will improve by one tier.
You can evolve Units in Anime Saga at the Evolve capsule in the main lobby. Now, each Unit has specific evolution requirements. For the most part, those requirements are Gold and craftable evolution items. Below, you can see which Units can be evolved, and what materials you need to collect to do that. If you are indecisive about which Unit to evolve first, Units with the highest priority have the best evolutions.
How to Craft Evolution Items in Anime Saga
You can craft evolution items at the Craft NPC using materials found in the Story, Raid, and Gold Shop.
You can craft evolution itemsat theCraft (Majin Buu) NPC in the main lobby. To craft an evolution item, you first need to collect some specific materials and a bit of Gold. You can farm most of these materials by doing Raids, while some are also available at the Gold Shop.
Farming Materials in Raids
The Raid stays open for 15 minutes, starting with each hour. After 15 minutes, it goes on a 45-minute cooldown.
You unlock Raids when you reach player level 25. From then on, you can easily farm materials needed for evolution items in them. Raids open up every hour at XX:00 (1:00, 2:00, etc.), and they stay open for 15 minutes before going on a 45-minute cooldown.
Raid bosses deal a lot of damage, but you can respawn even if your whole party wipes.Depending on how much damage you dealt, you will gain a certain amount of Gold, Gems, and various materials.
When you enter a Raid, you have 15 minutes to deal as much damage as you can to the boss within it. With each damage threshold you reach, you get an additional set of rewards. Even though up to eight players can join the same Raid, the damage dealt to the boss isn’t shared between them. However, teaming up with others has its benefits, as your Unit’s damage increases with more players in the same Raid.
Where to Spend Raid Tickets
Talk to the Rem and Ram NPCs in the lobby to spend your Raid tokens.You can use Tickets to buy Units and reroll consumables from the Raid Shop.
When you complete a Raid, you will get a certain number of Tickets as a reward. You can spend these Tickets at the Raid Shop NPCs to purchase Trait and Stat rerolls, as well as some very powerful limited Units, like Remu.
Buying Materials and Food at the Gold Shop
The Gold Shop refreshes every 12 hours, and you can buy randomly selected materials from it.
Suppose you are missing some materials to craft an evolution item for one of your Units. In that case, you can buy those occasionally at the Gold Shop. Keep in mind that the Gold Shop stock refreshes every 12 hours, and not all items are available from it at once. Instead, a random selection is in stock. All Rare and Epic materials are easily farmed in Raids. Thus, I suggest you purchase only Legendary and Mythic materials as they have very low drop rates.

Anime Saga Unit Evolutions FAQs
What Units can be evolved in Anime Saga?
Currently, you can only evolve Mythic Units in Anime Saga.
Can you sell materials you don’t need in Anime Saga?
Unfortunately, you can’t sell the excess materials that will inevitably pile up in your inventory.
How do you farm evolution materials in Anime Saga?
You can farm evolution materials in Anime Saga by completing Raids (level 25+). Also, if you need a specific one to evolve a Unit right away, you might find it in the Gold Shop.

Having cemented its place as one of this year’s breakout successes, indie game R.E.P.O., celebrated for its chaotic physics-based mechanics and the unpredictable (often comical) moments, is pushing the experience even further with the game’s first big update.
Available on Beta via Steam, this update debuts the ‘Overcharge’ feature, delivers a mass of bug fixes, along with a number of new items and weapons. Two of which are the ‘Cart Cannon’ and ‘Cart Laser’. The are heavy-duty weapons that can turn your cart from a simple floating basket to an armed tank ready to one-shot some of the game’s toughest enemies. They increase the firepower you and your team can use to protect yourselves while tending to your Semibot’s repossession duties.

How to use the Cart Cannon and Cart Laser
Like all weapons and upgrades in R.E.P.O., the new cart weapons are found in the Service Station, which you arrive at after the successful completion of each level. Due to the prices of these new items, they may not be attainable until later levels after more money has been earned. As of now, both weapons appear in the store for anywhere between 40-50k.
Both the cannon and laser will automatically attach to the C.A.R.T. once lifted and placed inside. When it’s ready to go, the light will change from red to green. Placing the weapons at the far end of the cart allows your teammate to push you around while you keep an eye out for enemies.
The normal ‘E’ function is used to activate the items; however, each version of this superpowered weapon has a very different firing style, adding a unique twist to your combat strategy.
Cart Cannon
Image via The Escapist
When fully charged, the cannon can deliver up to four shots that deal 500 damage per hit. Incredibly, this is enough to take out the slow but tough Trudge, so it is important to make every shot count. It should be noted, however, that the cannon is so powerful that it has the ability to push the cart itself backwards. While this isn’t by much, using the Cart Cannon near a hole or on a ledge isn’t recommended. Your teammates probably don’t want to search for your head after you’ve saved the day.
Cart Laser
Image via The Escapist
When fully charged, the laser has four pulse beams which deliver 65 damage every second it fires. Aim and time it right, and this will be enough to take out the biggest enemies, despite it not being able to one-shot like the cannon. An advantage of the laser over the cannon is the wide breadth of damage it delivers. Like the Clown’s nose beam, you can manoeuvre the laser to hit many targets, opposed to the cannons’ very specific area. However, be cautious of your surroundings. You wouldn’t want to take out your team with a stray laser beam. Consider your playstyle and the situation you’re in to decide which weapon is best for you.
This recent update from Semiwork showcases that so much more is to come in R.E.P.O. If the newest weapons and level items are anything to go by, they have some large plans for the future.

As of right now, all seems well in Minecraft world. Minecraft Live was a blast, the most recent Snapshots have introduced improvements to both long-range combat and to leashes, and the Minecraft movie is an enormous success. But like any and every videogame, Mojang’s blocky builder has experienced its share of technical troubles. Veterans might recall the dancing Enderdragon. In fact, Minecraft’s most iconic enemy, the Creeper, is the result of a glitch that twisted and elongated the original character model for pigs. Now, Jens Bergensten, Mojang’s chief creative officer, explains the history of one of the best Minecraft bugs. Who here remembers squid milk?
With 2025 seemingly as busy as ever for Mojang’s building game, make sure you’re up to speed with the best Minecraft seeds and also the best Minecraft mods. Once you’ve found a new world and gotten settled, see if you can find yourself a friendly squid. Hopefully, you will notice two things: one, the squid is swimming in the water and two, no matter how hard you try, you cannot milk it, like a cow. As one of Minecraft‘s most legendary developers explains, this wasn’t always the case.
“When I started working on Minecraft, I didn’t really know exactly how everything worked,” Bergensten, who has co-developed Minecraft since 2010, explains. “I wanted to add a new mob, so I added a squid. The best way for me to do that was to copy an existing mob, so I based the squid on the cow mob, but I forgot to remove the milking behavior.
“For a while, you could actually milk the squid, which was a bit silly and also… not the intended behavior. Again, the squid was my first mob, so I managed to add more problems to it. In the way I made the movement code, the server and client wouldn’t agree on where the squid actually was. This caused a behavior where you would occasionally see squids flying around in the air, the ‘flying squid’ bug.”
Squid milking (what a wonderful combination of words) was removed from Minecraft in 2011. Maybe, though, it could make a return. I’m not saying you should be able to get cow’s milk from squids, but maybe black dye? Either way, I will agree that squids should remain in the water and not the sky.

Choosing the right Sins when creating a new character in Absolvement is as crucial as choosing your race, because you won’t be able to change them. However, with each of them sounding worse than the other, making that choice can be difficult. To help you pick only the best Sins available, we prepared the following Absolvement Sin tier list.
Absolvement Sin Tier List
All Sins in Absolvement ranked from easiest to hardest – Image via TierMaker.
In the tier list above, we ranked all Sins in Absolvementbased on how difficult it is to play with them. Picking up multiple high-ranked Sins will make the overall gameplay not that bad. However, picking even one from the bottom of the tier list is not recommended for new players.
Good Sin Combos
Now, you can always run with just one Sin, but your Soul Fragment generation will be low. So, we prepared some Sin combos that don’t make the game too difficult, while still giving you a decent Soul Fragment multiplier.

Absolvement Sins Explained
In Absolvement, you pick Sins while creating a character. With each Sin you select, the amount of Soul Fragments you get with that character will increase by 4%. However, each Sin applies a set of permanent debuffs to your character. So, unless you are an already experienced player, pick only a few easier-to-manage Sins. Keep in mind that before you can finish creating your character, you have to select at least one Sin.
That concludes our Absolvement Sins tier list. Now, you don’t have to break your mind while finishing up your character every time. If you want to check out more of our Roblox content, then visit the Roblox hub here on The Escapist.

Fortnite developer Epic recently suggested the game might become available on iOS in the US for the first time since 2020 soon, but it’s now looking like that won’t be happening. Why? Well, Epic’s accusing Apple, its long-time sparring partner in an ongoing legal battle, of storeblocking.
As we reported last week, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney had launched a fresh effort to get Apple to agree to re-admit the game to its App Store following a judge issuing a pretty damning verdict against the fruit company in the latest legal skirmish between the two. This is all about payment options and the cut Apple takes of them via its store, with Epic having decided five years ago that this was something it wouldn’t stand for.

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has claimed it originally submitted Fortnite for Apple to review on May 9 and then resubmitted a new version on May 14 in order to include a fresh update to the game. Now, the publisher’s put out the following statement via the official Fortnite Twitter account:
“Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it.”

Sweeney himself has also been tweeting, declaring in one post: “Apple’s App Review team should be free to review all submitted apps promptly and accept or reject according to the plain language of their guidelines. App Review shouldn’t be weaponized by senior management as a tool to delay or obstruct competition, due process, or free speech.”
This all comes after that aforementioned court verdict, which saw Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rule that Apple was “in wilful violation” of previous court injunction that it had to allow purchases made for iOS games and apps through outside web links. It did, but then instituted a 27% commission on such purchases.
“Apple’s response to the Injunction strains credulity,” the court’s verdict read, “After two sets of evidentiary hearings, the truth emerged Apple, despite knowing its obligations thereunder, thwarted the injunction’s goals, and continued its anticompetitive conduct solely to maintain its revenue stream.”
We’ll just have to see how things go from here, as it looks like this fight is nowhere near a resolution that would see one victor left default dancing, or more realistically a bunch of suits going back to whatever else it is they do with their time.
